An array of intersecting lines and curves create a layered visual experience. Ghostly forms suggest motion and depth. Abstract imagery evokes movement reminiscent of figures in dynamic poses. In the upper section, scribbled lines and shapes form loose human-like forms on a pale background. Below, a dark mass of forms gathers, with shapes resembling features of a face.
